When I first visited, I was charmed by the warm welcome I received from all the residence’s representatives. I’m really touched by the compassionate atmosphere here.

I’m very pleased with my choice!
Lolo Nohra, resident at Ambiance
Ambiance is a people-centred seniors’ residence. That’s why we chose to live here. That, and the fact that it’s so close to the central district of Nuns’ Island. Thanks to all the shops in the vicinity, we enjoy a good quality of life. We also enjoy the variety of activities on offer and the option to eat in when we choose to. Plus, the staff are very kind, devoted and generous! The residence allows us to be independent while also feeling taken care of when needed, and that is something we’re particularly pleased with. We’re proud to invite our friends and family to visit us at Ambiance!

Cinema : The Mule (FR)
Director: Clint Eastwood
Year: 2018
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Pena, Dianne Wiest, Andy Garcia, Alison Eastwood, Taissa Farmiga, Ignacio Serricchio, Loren Dean, Eugene Cordero
Genre: Drama / Drame social; Mystery / Comédie de moeurs; Crime / Drame policier
Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn't the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates. And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl's past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it's uncertain if he'll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel's enforcers, catch up to him.
